I’m glad somebody gets it.

The LEO says his bypassing security clearance (for obvious reasons) is standard procedure. OK. I get that.

Steel, in his myopic entitlement view of the world, doesn’t see that Boehner is being treated any differently than anyone else because he’s only thinking of the privileged elite world HE lives in. He doesn’t appear to have a clue that that is NOT reality and in the REAL world that the rest of us inhabit, those he hobnobs with ARE privileged and entitled.

That’s why I said, “The depths of special interest and political entitlement delusion are breathtaking.

That they can justify it and deny what is blatantly obvious to anyone with an IQ above that of an ice cube, ........ “

Steel doesn’t have a clue. He just doesn’t get it that they are being treated differently that the unwashed. He’s acting like this is perfectly natural and normal for them. And deserved.

It smacks of the *Let them eat cake* mentality.

Yup. The posters misunderstood what you were getting at. That Boehner should be guarded and protected is a given. That he should receive special treatment as Speaker is a given. That Steele says Mr. Boehner was not receiving special treatment is a total disconnect.

mom, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Either the Speaker has special security needs or he doesn't. Which is it you prefer?

Regarding Steele, he is indefensible in every area with the exception here. For many other reasons Steele was a bad choice by RNC and needs to go. BUT “This” Speaker IS NOT getting special treatment different from every other Speaker of the House. That is fact. Apparently you mistook Steele's statement as if he was saying Bonhner was not getting special treatment compared to the procedures us citizens have to endure.

This whole charade is a yellow journalism hit piece by the NY Slimes, why are you buying into their BS?
